REINCARNATED AS A PLAYBOY: I CAN HEAR MY REBORN EXES' THOUGHTSC114 - 113 Meng Xiyue is under pressure! Feng Lan and Ye Qingxue undergo secret special training together!
Chapter 114: Chapter 113 Meng Xiyue is under pressure! Feng Lan and Ye Qingxue undergo secret special training together!
"You little brat! Who did you say is someone's brother-in-law? Do you know who I am? Do you know who my cousin is? Spouting nonsense, believe it or not, I'll smack you!"
Hearing someone daring to claim he was their brother-in-law, Wang Jian turned around, wishing he could tear that person's mouth apart.
The speaker was none other than Lin Tianming's roommate, Chu Yunfei.
Seeing Wang Jian, a second-year student, bursting with rage and without the strength of Lin Tianming, he immediately put on a smiling face.
Lin Tianming then stepped forward, patted Wang Jian on the shoulder, and said, "Senior Brother Wang Jian, my roommate had a bit too much to drink just now and talked nonsense. We just made peace in front of your cousin. Given my face, you wouldn't hold a grudge against a junior, right?"
Wang Jian couldn't beat Lin Tianming; even if Lin Tianming hadn't mentioned his cousin Wang Yanran, he wouldn't dare to act up against Lin Tianming.
"So it's... it's Junior Brother Tianming! Who did I think it was? No worries, I won't hold a grudge!"
Having successfully calmed Wang Jian down, Lin Tianming glanced at the empty Wind Bell Arena and asked, "Senior Brother Wang Jian, I just heard that Meng Xiyue from North Shore Academy came here to challenge Senior Brothers Li Hao and Zhang Zixi, but why don't I see them here?"
Prompted by Lin Tianming's question, Wang Jian immediately replied, "It's already over; they've left."
Seeing that Wang Jian was subdued by Lin Tianming, Chu Yunfei also squeezed in, "That fast? Those were two challenges. Did Meng Xiyue resolve them all at once? Or did Meng Xiyue lose right at the start?"
"Meng Xiyue said she was in a hurry and also wanted to challenge Mo Jinghong and Yong Yu, so she let Li Hao and Zhang Zixi fight her together. The result was that even the two of them combined only lasted a few moves against her."
Upon hearing this, Chu Yunfei couldn't help but gasp in astonishment, "Those are the strongest members of the second year at our Great Emperor Academy in Imperial City, ranked third and fourth. They lost that quickly?"
"If you don't believe it, you can check the video; I reckon someone has already recorded the whole thing and uploaded it to major social media platforms!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Yunfei immediately took out his phone to search, and soon found the freshly posted challenge video of Meng Xiyue against Li Hao and Zhang Zixi.
He directly played the video on the spot for viewing, and Lin Tianming also took a brief look.
Seeing Meng Xiyue defeating Li Hao and Zhang Zixi in an almost crushing manner, Chu Yunfei's face was filled with shock.
"Monster... monster... Tianming, I think this guy might be even more monstrous than you are!"
At that moment, Wang Jian also glanced at the thoughtful Lin Tianming and curiously asked, "Junior Brother Tianming, you didn't come here to challenge her, did you?"
Lin Tianming shook his head, "I just came to watch."
After watching the video, Chu Yunfei sighed, "It's a pity I missed it. Watching a video always feels like it lacks some flavor!"
Just as Lin Tianming and Chu Yunfei were about to leave, Wang Jian noticed that the aura emanating from Lin Tianming seemed to have grown stronger.
He observed Lin Tianming's aura for a moment and then widened his eyes in disbelief.
"Junior Brother Tianming, have you advanced to Level 17?"
At this remark, Chu Yunfei was also stunned.
Realizing that Wang Jian had seen through his promotion to Level 17, Lin Tianming did not deny nor confirm, simply letting a smile appear.
"Senior Brother Wang Jian really has sharp eyes, I had a bit of good luck and accidentally made a breakthrough."
With Lin Tianming's confirmation, Chu Yunfei immediately showed an expression of understanding everything.
"Tianming, no wonder as soon as you heard Meng Xiyue from North Shore Academy reached Level 17 you came here. Turns out you're also Level 17, wanting to measure up against her!"
Wang Jian also became somewhat expectant, "Junior Brother Tianming, with your talent, both at Level 17, if you win against Meng Xiyue, you can surely restore the prestigious name of our Great Emperor Academy as the number-one Awakener Academy in Jiuzhou!"
Seeing that they all thought he was there to challenge Meng Xiyue, a genuinely just-watching Lin Tianming felt somewhat speechless.
Not bothering to explain anything to those who thought they knew everything, he simply waved his hand and turned to leave.
"Since the challenges are over and there's nothing to watch, I'll head back first. Senior Brother Wang Jian, please give my regards to Senior Sister Yanran."
Seeing Lin Tianming walking away like that, as a roommate, Chu Yunfei quickly followed.
Back in the dorm, Lin Tianming received a voice message from Ye Qingxue.
Chu Yunfei also understood well, not to disturb Lin Tianming when there were girls looking for him.
"Brother Tianming, sorry I didn't wait for you to have lunch together today. You're not mad at me, are you?"
Listening to Ye Qingxue's slightly apologetic words, Lin Tianming smiled lightly and quickly replied.
"No, we're not conjoined twins; we don't need to be glued to each other every day."
On the other end of the phone, having left Imperial Academy, Ye Qingxue caressed her trembling chest and heaved a sigh of relief.
She glanced at Feng Lan, who had left the Imperial Academy with her, before continuing to reply to Lin Tianming.
"It's good then. I might be a bit busy lately. I probably won't be able to join you for meals or dates, so I wanted to tell Brother Tianming in advance!"
A bit busy?
Could it be that she's relying on the memories of her past life to find opportunities meant for her?
Having been with Ye Qingxue for so long, this was the first time Lin Tianming saw her not clinging to him.
Honestly, he was not quite used to it.
Still, Lin Tianming replied: "No worries, when you're less busy, we can go out and have fun together!"
"Yeah, Brother Tianming, I need to get going now!"
"Go ahead!"
Right after chatting with Ye Qingxue, Lin Tianming received another voice message from Feng Lan.
"I've got some things to handle recently. I won't be able to spar with you these days. If you want to see me, wait until I come back and contact you."
Why has Feng Lan suddenly become busy too?
Could it be that Ye Qingxue and Feng Lan had agreed on this?
Even though he couldn't figure out why Feng Lan was acting like Ye Qingxue, Lin Tianming was still happy to see her busy.
Every time Feng Lan came to him, it was either to spar or on the way to sparring. If not for his many excuses, he would have to fight her at least once every day.
Fortunately, Feng Lan was much easier to deal with than the previous Wang Yanran; once he refused, she would not bother him for the rest of the day.
If Feng Lan had been like the previous Wang Yanran, constantly finding ways to block his door, he really would have had a headache to the point of explosion.
Thinking of these, Lin Tianming replied: "Okay, we'll spar once you're not busy!"
"I hope next time I ask you to spar, you won't come up with a bunch of excuses to refuse me."
Receiving the instantly replied message from Feng Lan, Lin Tianming felt somewhat awkward.
"I definitely won't refuse you next time!"
After sending that message, Lin Tianming did not receive any more messages from Feng Lan.
At the same time, after Feng Lan had contacted Lin Tianming, Ye Qingxue said, "I really didn't expect you to invite me to join you in the secret training to break through to Level 17. It seems that Meng Xiyue from North Shore Academy has put quite some pressure on Miss Feng, who is usually so quiet and talks little!"
While speaking, Ye Qingxue's body emitted bursts of cold Extreme Ice Power.
Feng Lan's body was surrounded by fierce Wind Blades.
Her eyes sharp as a sword: "Even if it's special training, I won't go easy on you!"
"I wouldn't have it any other way!"

REINCARNATED AS A PLAYBOY: I CAN HEAR MY REBORN EXES' THOUGHTSC115 - 114: The Last Ace of the Second Year, Yong Yu! Can he maintain the reputation of the Imperial Academy?
Chapter 115: Chapter 114: The Last Ace of the Second Year, Yong Yu! Can he maintain the reputation of the Imperial Academy?
Lin Tianming would never have dreamed that since enrolling in school, Ye Qingxue and Feng Lan, who had never seen eye to eye, would temporarily reconcile and secretly train together to break through to Level 17.
And the catalyst for their joint secret training wasn't him, but rather the SSS-ranked Guardian Beast Master from the North Shore Academy, Meng Xiyue.
Now, seeing Meng Xiyue so domineeringly obliterate almost all sophomore students from the Imperial Academy, Lin Tianming was the only one who could remain calm.
However, within the Imperial Academy, there was still someone who could ruffle Lin Tianming's calm demeanor.
That was Teacher Jiang Han, who liked to put him through devil training.
"Damn it, Jiang Han! Saying that I couldn't be challenged by the second-stage Thunder Pool intensity training; fearing the third stage still wasn't tough enough, you skipped it and went straight to the fourth-stage Thunder Pond Baptism. I was almost drained dry by this devil!"
Cursing under his breath as he walked out of the Thunder Awakening Venue, Lin Tianming felt like he was on the verge of collapse.
He was just about to say he'd wait for his clingy girlfriend Sister Qingxue to help him rest when he remembered that Ye Qingxue had told him yesterday that she was busy and couldn't accompany him.
Pffft!
"Hahaha! I can't take it... I swear I'm not doing this on purpose... Hahahaha! Lin Tianming, junior, I can't... You look too hilarious... I just can't hold it in! What happened to you?"
Suddenly, mocking laughter erupted nearby, and Lin Tianming looked over irritably after he had just finished his devil training.
Seeing it was Mo Jinghong, who had helped him several times before, Lin Tianming suppressed the urge to start a fight.
He rolled his eyes at Mo Jinghong, who still had the mood to tease him at this time: "Senior Sister Jing Hong, can you stop laughing?"
"No, it's not... I don't want to! Hahaha... I just happened to be passing by and ran into you. You're not looking like this because that student from another school, Meng Xiyue, beat you up, right?"
Mo Jinghong swore to the heavens, she was definitely not intending to mock Lin Tianming.
It was just that Lin Tianming looked too funny, and she couldn't help herself.
Lin Tianming also said, "I've never even encountered that Meng Xiyue, how could she have beaten me up? This is because I've just completed the devil training by the damn Teacher Jiang Han!"
Mo Jinghong caught her breath and tried to contain her amusement.
"Damn it? Lin Tianming, junior, it seems that your Teacher Jiang Han is very strict with you usually, no wonder you've made such quick progress, reaching Level 17 as well, same as that student from another school, Meng Xiyue!"
"Stop making fun of me, Senior Sister Jing Hong. If there's nothing else, I'll be going back to rest!"
"What a coincidence to run into you, and it happens to be lunchtime. You can't just slip away like this! Do you know how hard it is to get a date with you? I absolutely have to have lunch with you this time!"
Mo Jinghong blocked Lin Tianming with a smile.
Ever since she added Lin Tianming as a friend that day, she had been wanting to invite Lin Tianming out to get to know this junior better and satisfy her curiosity.
But every time she looked for him, he seemed to be busy.
She finally caught him this time and had no intention of letting Lin Tianming slip away.
Seeing Mo Jinghong so insistent, Lin Tianming hesitated and then agreed.
"Alright then, Senior Sister Jing Hong, where shall we have lunch? Cafeteria?"
"The cafeteria is so dull! Come on, I'm treating today. There's a new restaurant near the North Gate that's really good. They have a promotion for the first week after opening, and to attract customers they serve generous portions. I'll take you there to try it out!"
After saying this, Mo Jinghong pulled Lin Tianming towards the North Gate, giving Lin Tianming, who had just finished intense training, a really hard time.
"Ouch... Senior Sister, take it easy, you're almost breaking my bones!"
And so, following Mo Jinghong with some pushing and pulling, they arrived at the restaurant she mentioned, with Lin Tianming, who was already exhausted, nearly collapsing with fatigue.
Mo Jinghong was all smiles as she said, "How do you like this place, isn't the atmosphere nice, Brother Tianming?"
"Not bad indeed, but Senior Sister Jing Hong, could you not drag me to run all the way here when I'm so exhausted next time? I'm really afraid I'll run out of breath halfway!"
"Alright, alright! Let your senior sister make it up to you, I'll order a few extra dishes for you at noon today!"
Mo Jinghong picked up the menu with a smile and ordered a bunch of dishes.
The newly opened restaurant wasn't very crowded, and their dishes were served one after another promptly.
The two of them enjoyed their meal and had a pleasant chat.
After they were full, they didn't leave right away, continuing to sit and chat leisurely in the restaurant.
"Junior Brother Lin Tianming, I saw a piece of news just now that in ten minutes, Meng Xiyue from North Shore Academy will challenge Yong Yu, the top sophomore at the Great Emperor Academy!"
Upon hearing Mo Jinghong's words, Lin Tianming frowned.
He remembered that Meng Xiyue hadn't challenged Mo Jinghong, who was ranked second, so why was she going directly for Yong Yu, who was first?
Thinking of this, Lin Tianming asked Mo Jinghong, "Senior Sister Jing Hong, if I recall correctly, Meng Xiyue hasn't publicly challenged you yet, so how come she's directly challenging Senior Yong Yu? Did she beat you in private?"
Talking about this, Mo Jinghong smiled and cleared Lin Tianming's doubts.
"Indeed, she hasn't fought with me, but she approached me for a challenge, which I turned down."
"Uh... turned down?"
Lin Tianming was surprised; he didn't expect Mo Jinghong to actually refuse Meng Xiyue's challenge.
The whole Great Emperor Academy was now waiting for someone to defeat Meng Xiyue from North Shore Academy and protect the gold-lettered signboard of being the number one Awakener Academy.
By refusing like this, wasn't Mo Jinghong conceding without a fight?
If the news spread, it would damage the reputation of the Great Emperor Academy.
Seeing Lin Tianming's confusion, Mo Jinghong shared her reason for declining.
"If it's not necessary, I don't really want to waste my energy on such meaningless fights right now. I am bursting with inspiration lately and need to spend a lot of time upgrading my exclusive weapon every day, which consumes a lot of soul power, so that's why I refused."
After hearing this, Lin Tianming also recalled that her superpower was the SSS-rated Forging Hand, which was related to weapon forging.
"So that's why..."
"Let me tell you a little secret—my inspiration comes from your Teacher Jiang Han's heroic feat of killing the Thunder Demon King from the Divine Realm a few years ago. If it works out, my combat power will undergo a qualitative transformation!"
Lin Tianming's curiosity was piqued: "A qualitative transformation?"
"I have a strong feeling that as long as I can successfully nurture this Divine Weapon, I might possess the potential to become a god just like your Teacher Jiang Han in the future!"
Mo Jinghong's mysterious words reminded Lin Tianming of something Ye Qingxue had mentioned—Mo Jinghong was the Forging Goddess in a previous life.
Could it be that Mo Jinghong's potential to become a god was related to the Divine Weapon she wanted to nurture this time?
Before Lin Tianming could sort out his thoughts, Mo Jinghong said, "What... You think your senior sister is bragging? That it's impossible for me to achieve what your Teacher Jiang Han has in the future?"
Listening to Mo Jinghong's slightly unhappy tone, Lin Tianming quickly waved his hands: "How could that be, Senior Sister Jing Hong will surely become a god in the future!"
Mo Jinghong found Lin Tianming's flattery very pleasing and stood up, patting his shoulder.
"That's more like it. Let's go, Junior Brother Lin Tianming, let's hurry to Wind Bell Arena. We should just make it in time to see the fight between Yong Yu and Meng Xiyue and see if he can defend the Great Emperor Academy's reputation!"

Chapter 116: Chapter 115: Divine Beast Separation Fire Sparrow! Li Fire Burning Sky! Meng Xiyue starts with a Divine Beast!
Wind Bell Arena.
When Lin Tianming and Mo Jinghong arrived at the scene, they just saw Yong Yu and Meng Xiyue walking into the arena.
"It looks like we arrived just in time. I hope Yong Yu can put a damper on Meng Xiyue's sharpness! If he loses, it'll probably be your turn next, Junior Brother Lin Tianming!"
"Me?" Lin Tianming was just there to watch the match; he had no plans to spar with Meng Xiyue.
"Yes, you! Think about it, if Yong Yu loses, it means that our entire second-year class at the Imperial Academy has been defeated by a first-year student from another school. This is a disgrace for the Imperial Academy. Third-year students can't continue to compete because even if they win, it would be seen as an unfair victory, and if they lose, it would bring even more shame to our academy.
In fact, it would be considered an unfair victory even if second-year students won, but since she has challenged us and Yong Yu has accepted, he must win. If he loses, chances are high that as I predicted, third-year students won't compete, and that leaves you, the top first-year student, to take the stage!"
After hearing Mo Jinghong's analysis, Lin Tianming thoughtfully said, "That's the reason you refused the challenge, isn't it?"
"What are you thinking about? I just need to reserve my energy to nurture that particularly important weapon for me recently!"
Lin Tianming did not pursue Mo Jinghong's denial further but instead turned his attention to Yong Yu and Meng Xiyue in the arena.
Yong Yu politely said, "Junior Sister Meng, you are a first-year student, please make the first move!"
Upon hearing this, Meng Xiyue's body instantly stirred up sparks.
"If this is the wish of Senior Brother, then the younger sister will respectfully comply!"
As she finished speaking, Meng Xiyue raised her right hand, and a Level 17 Red Feather shot out, flapping its Fire Feathers towards Yong Yu.
The Red Feather was only Level 17, but in the hands of Meng Xiyue, a SSS-level Guardian Beast Master, the same skill exhibited greater power than what Lin Tianming had seen from a Level 27 male Guardian Beast Master before.
Red Feather?
It seems that Meng Xiyue must be related to that Level 27 male Guardian Beast Master!
While Lin Tianming was analyzing the relationship between Meng Xiyue and the male Guardian Beast Master in the Lost Forest, he heard the last thing he wanted to hear.
"Let me make the first move, you will only lose faster!"
???
Wait...
Was that Meng Xiyue's inner voice?
So, she is also a Goddess Reincarnator who was deceived by the original soul?
"By defeating you, I won't challenge a third-year student, but the Imperial Academy will surely save face by having their top new student, Lin Tianming, to spar with me before I leave!"
"In the past life in the Secret Realm, you destroyed my Guardian Beast Master superpower Talent and turned me from a SSS-level Guardian Beast Master genius into a cripple. This life, I will definitely seek revenge, Lin Tianming!"
Lin Tianming had originally fantasized that he might have developed a phobia of Goddess Reincarnators after encountering so many of them, thinking every woman is a reincarnator coming after him for revenge.
However, when Lin Tianming heard Meng Xiyue's inner voice again, he knew he hadn't heard wrong.
Original soul, how many people did you trick before you died!
Damn it, it never ends!
The debts caused by the original soul, all have to be repaid by him, the soul-transmigrated transmigrator!
The more he thought about it, the tighter Lin Tianming clenched his fists.
If it weren't for the fact that the original owner's soul had already been destroyed by the soul transmigration, he would definitely pull the original owner's soul out and give it a good beating.
At this moment, in the Wind Bell Arena, Yong Yu was facing the surprise attack of Red Feather launched by Meng Xiyue, and streams of water surged around him.
The water flowed and converged in front of Yong Yu, solidifying into a flute radiating with Water Attribute Energy.
The flames carried by the incoming Red Feather were instantly extinguished upon touching the flute.
And Red Feather was also repelled by the ripples generated by the flute.
The students from the Imperial Academy watching nearby were greatly encouraged by this scene.
"Meng Xiyue used this move to defeat Li Hao and Zhang Zixi before, but I didn't expect it to be easily repelled by Yong Yu's attack on Meng Xiyue's Awakened Beast, Red Feather!"
"That's right! Who do you think Yong Yu is? He is the top student among the second-year students at our Imperial Academy, with an SSS-tier Heavenly Sound Flute Talent in superpowers, and an Awakening Level of 29. Now, that visiting student Meng Xiyue has met her match!"
"Exactly! Brother Yong Yu is also the runner-up in the Global High-level Awakening Academy Competition, having pushed the strongest Genius Awakener from Beiyin Domain to a desperate situation, losing by just one move. If he had another chance, perhaps Brother Yong Yu could be the champion of this competition!
If even he loses to this first-year newbie, who has only awakened for over two months, wouldn't it mean that the recent Global High-level Awakening Academy Competition lacks credibility, and isn't Meng Xiyue's match either from Beiyin Domain's top second-year Genius?"
Hearing the discussions nearby, Lin Tianming frowned and asked, "Senior sister, what exactly is Yong Yu's Heavenly Sound Flute superpower? That flute doesn't look like a crafted weapon, but rather seems to be formed from his own superpower."
Faced with Lin Tianming's question, Mo Jinghong was somewhat surprised that Lin Tianming could discern the essence of the Heavenly Sound Flute upon first seeing it.
"You have quite an eye, the Heavenly Sound Flute is indeed not crafted from various materials, but is made from his own superpower, a mutation of the SSS-tier Water attribute superpower, hence it's filled with Water Attribute Energy."
With the clarification from Mo Jinghong, Lin Tianming continued watching the match intently.
After successfully repelling Red Feather, Yong Yu switched from defense to offense and began playing his Heavenly Sound Flute.
The flute's melody turned into tangible ripples and swiftly spread towards Meng Xiyue.
Meng Xiyue did not expect Yong Yu's strength to be much greater than she had imagined, and her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed.
[Truly worthy of being the top student among second-year students at the Imperial Academy, this strength is indeed far beyond ordinary people. However, meeting me, a Reincarnator, even great strength is meaningless!]
Upon hearing Meng Xiyue's inner voice, Lin Tianming shifted his main focus towards her.
Red Feather was immediately withdrawn by Meng Xiyue into her Guardian Beast Seal, and a new red mark appeared in the palm of her hand.
Different from the red mark of Red Feather's Fire attribute, this red mark depicted a different Fire attribute Awakened Beast.
As the red mark glimmered with light, an aura as if capable of burning down the space began to shake the area.
This aura... It's similar to Ye Qingxue and Feng Lan when they use their Divine Dao Domain Skill!
No... The Divine Tao Domain aura in Meng Xiyue's Guardian Beast Seal, now at Level 17, is even stronger!
Accompanied by a loud bird cry piercing through the sky, a blazing hot firebird enveloped in Divine Tao Domain flames flew out from the Guardian Beast Seal.
This was an Awakened Beast Lin Tianming had never seen before during his theoretical studies in Mingxi City!
It wasn't just Lin Tian that hadn't seen this flaming bird engulfed in boiling flames; everyone present at the scene couldn't recognize which Awakened Beast this firebird actually was.
[With this Divine Beast Li Fire Sparrow's Li Fire, even if your Heavenly Sound Flute has a Water attribute, I can still defeat you by reversing the attribute!]

REINCARNATED AS A PLAYBOY: I CAN HEAR MY REBORN EXES' THOUGHTSC117 - 116: Yong Yu Defeated! Lin Tianming Has No Choice but to Enter the Fray!
Chapter 117: Chapter 116: Yong Yu Defeated! Lin Tianming Has No Choice but to Enter the Fray!
The Li Fire of Burning Sky blazed fiercely, scorching the space until it trembled, directly triggering the shield of the Wind Bell Arena.
If it weren't for the shield of the Wind Bell Arena providing protection, the Li Fire of Burning Sky would have certainly burned many of the onlooking students nearby.
This shocking scene left everyone present stunned.
Lin Tianming's companion, Mo Jinghong, furrowed his brow, "What kind of awakened beast is this she possesses? How can it exhibit such a powerful fire skill?"
Through Meng Xiyue's thoughts, Lin Tianming already knew that the unseen awakened beast was no ordinary one but rather the Divine Beast Separation Fire Sparrow.
However, Lin Tianming definitely wouldn't tell Mo Jinghong this, as it would reveal his ability to eavesdrop on thoughts.
He could only wait for Meng Xiyue to explain about her Divine Beast Separation Fire Sparrow herself.
With Lin Tianming's unwavering gaze, the Li Fire Sparrow's Li Fire Burning Sky ignored the attribute suppression, instantly evaporating Yong Yu's ripple waves into steam and burning toward Yong Yu with undiminished momentum.
Seeing this, Yong Yu immediately played his Heavenly Sound Flute.
Terrifying waves rose up, attempting to extinguish the boiling Li Fire.
But under the fierce flames that touched the Divine Dao Domain, the waves were quickly evaporated completely.
Feeling the pressure from Meng Xiyue, Yong Yu couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Even when he faced the strongest second-year student from the Beiyin Domain, Yong Yu had never felt such immense pressure.
He simply could not fathom how a first-year freshman, just starting out, could possess such formidable power.
He, a second-year student, the top of the top with an SSS superpower talent and second place in the Global High-level Awakening Academy Competition, had trained hard for a year. Could it be that he was still not as good as a freshman?
Could it be that this batch of freshmen, including Lin Tianming, was more outstanding than second-year students like them?
Outstanding enough that Lin Tianming and Meng Xiyue, although a year behind in cultivation, could crush all the second-year students?
Whether for himself or for the Imperial Academy, Yong Yu did not want to lose.
He once again played the Heavenly Sound Flute, displaying a new skill he had recently comprehended from his return to the Imperial Academy.
Heavenly Sound Water Prison!
In the next instant, the sound of the Heavenly Sound Flute unleashed a powerful sonic wave attack, ignoring the Li Fire of Burning Sky, directly targeting Meng Xiyue herself.
At the same time, a water prison that seemed to confine everything trapped the Li Fire about to attack Yong Yu.
"This Water attribute aura... so strong!"
Witnessing Yong Yu's counterattack as he was about to be defeated, Lin Tianming was also amazed by the power of Yong Yu's Heavenly Sound Water Prison.
The sonic wave attack from Heavenly Sound directly targeted Meng Xiyue herself while the water prison confined the Li Fire, its power far surpassing typical skills of the same level.
However, unfortunately, compared to skills that had touched the Divine Dao Domain, it still could not compare.
[Interesting. As a non-Reincarnator, to understand Water attribute power to this extent at Level 27, there's certainly potential to become a God. If I hadn't been reborn, I wouldn't have been able to defeat you cross-level. But unfortunately...]
[Unfortunately, there's no "if"! Be defeated under the growth skill of the Divine Beast Separation Fire Sparrow in the Divine Dao Domain!]
With the call of the Separation Fire Sparrow, the sonic wave attack Yong Yu attempted on Meng Xiyue herself crumbled on the spot.
The water prison entangling the Li Fire didn't last more than a few seconds before being completely evaporated.
In the unbelieving eyes of the onlooking students, the strongest move by Yong Yu succumbed to the flames of Li Fire Burning Sky.
The flames of Burning Sky were initially capable of severely injuring Yong Yu, but in the first instant after Yong Yu's defeat, they were retracted by Meng Xiyue's Separation Fire Sparrow.
Meng Xiyue walked leisurely up to the fallen Yong Yu, offering a slight smile.
"Senior Yong Yu, that was a lucky move. Thank you for letting me win."
Yong Yu sighed deeply, "Junior Sister Meng, it's me who lost. What kind of awakened beast is this? I've never seen it before."
"The Li Fire Sparrow, I discovered it in a Secret Realm."
"I see. Even though I lost in today's battle with you, Junior Sister Meng, I benefited greatly. I'll head back now to refine my combat power so that next time, during our duel, I may make some progress!"
Though he had poured all his efforts into the battle and still lost to a first-year Meng Xiyue, Yong Yu accepted his defeat graciously.
After saying this, he left the Wind Bell Arena.
At this moment, a boy who closely resembled Meng Xiyue ran into the Wind Bell Arena.
"Incredible, Sister Xiyue. You even defeated the top second-year student from the Imperial Academy! You've really done North Shore Academy proud this time!"
"Brother Hao Ran, let's leave too!"
Seeing her older brother Meng Haoran had arrived, Meng Xiyue left the Wind Bell Arena with her brother.
Watching the Guardian Beast Master siblings walk away, Lin Tianming's questions were finally answered.
The male Guardian Beast Master he had encountered in the Lost Forest indeed had a significant relationship with Meng Xiyue; they were real siblings!
However, this was not Lin Tianming's main concern at the moment. What preoccupied his mind was Meng Xiyue's identity as a Goddess Reincarnator.
Even though he hadn't yet acquired specific information about Meng Xiyue's past life through the system, Lin Tianming was troubled about how to strategize with someone whose thoughts he could hear.
From her recent thoughts, it was clear that this Goddess Reincarnator had been greatly wronged by the original owner and sought revenge.
At such times, Lin Tianming couldn't help but miss Teacher Tianshui.
If only these Goddess Reincarnators were like Teacher Tianshui and wouldn't seek revenge on him, that would be ideal!
"Junior Brother Lin Tianming, prepare yourself. Without third-year and fourth-year students stepping in, the responsibility of maintaining the Imperial Academy's final dignity might fall on you!"
Mo Jinghong's words echoed in Lin Tianming's ears, making him feel numb.
He had no interest in Meng Xiyue in the first place, and upon learning she harbored deep animosity toward him as a Goddess Reincarnator, he was even less keen on sparring with her.
If a real battle broke out, Meng Xiyue wouldn't hold back, as she had against Yong Yu. She would absolutely battle him to the death like Feng Lan!
Due to the grudges between the original owner and Meng Xiyue, Lin Tianming was not inclined to discuss this issue further with Mo Jinghong.
After spending only a short time with Mo Jinghong, Lin Tianming returned to his dorm to rest.
Who would have thought that as soon as he got back to his dorm, Jiang Han would send him a message, just as Mo Jinghong had predicted.
"The school leadership of the Imperial Academy contacted me to persuade you to engage in a fair duel with the first-year student Meng Xiyue from North Shore Academy. I wanted to ask for your thoughts."
On the other end, Jiang Han was already prepared.
If Lin Tianming didn't want to spar with Meng Xiyue, she would personally explain to the school leadership at the Imperial Academy.
With her status, the school leadership would not dare to force her student to do anything.
However, since Lin Tianming wasn't with Jiang Han, he couldn't eavesdrop on her thoughts to understand her intentions.
Lin Tianming had no interest in sparring with Meng Xiyue, but he felt that since Teacher Jiang Han was reaching out to him, surely she hoped he could represent the Imperial Academy in the competition.
Rather than refuse and wait for her to persuade him personally, he decided to accept the challenge directly.
Thinking of this, Lin Tianming gave Jiang Han his response.
"Since Teacher Jiang Han sought me out, how could I decline?"
On the other end, Jiang Han was truly surprised to receive Lin Tianming's reply.
Knowing the difference in Lin Tianming's personality this lifetime compared to the previous one, she assumed he wouldn't be interested in such matters.
She had prepared to assure Lin Tianming to focus solely on training with her.
Nonetheless, since Lin Tianming agreed, she sent him the duel's schedule.
"Since you decided to participate, let me tell you the time and place set by the school. Tomorrow at noon, Wind Bell Arena!"

Chapter 118: Chapter 117: Even Jiang Han is not optimistic about Lin Tianming, is Meng Xiyue that strong?
"Teacher Jiang Han, I have a sparring match at noon today, please don't put me through any Devil Training again!"
"Relax, I know what I'm doing. I called you here to help you prepare for this afternoon's sparring, to ensure you are in peak condition!"
"Getting me in peak condition for the match... Teacher Jiang Han, are you suggesting... you want to give me a massage to relax?"
"What nonsense are you thinking? Wishful thinking I'd give you a massage, how flattering!"
At the Thunder Awakening Venue, Jiang Han glared at Lin Tianming who dared to fantasize about getting a massage from her.
With a snap of her fingers, she summoned a Mild Thunder Pool with the Thunder Power.
"Go ahead, get in yourself!"
Having endured intense Thunder Pool training daily, Lin Tianming felt his scalp tingle at the sight of it.
He stepped back and twitched the corner of his mouth, "Teacher Jiang Han, you promised no Thunder Pool training today because of the sparring match at noon, right?"
"This Thunder Pool isn't for your regular training; it's a Mild Thunder Pool specifically to nourish you. Remember to activate your Furious Thunder Armor once you're inside. The power of the pool will charge up your Furious Thunder Armor with thunder and lightning, so by the time you spar at noon, your Thunder Attribute Skills can reach their maximum potential at your current level."
[This silly boy, do I look like a devil to him? Would I excessively train him right before his match? I specially prepared a Mild Thunder Pool and he still suspects me, such an ingrate!]
Hearing Jiang Han's thoughts, Lin Tianming reassured himself about the Thunder Pool.
He carefully sensed the power of thunder and lightning contained within the Thunder Pool; indeed, it radiated a very magical and gentle force that seemed to nourish one's body.
This was the first time Lin Tianming had encountered such gentle Thunder Power, and it broadened his horizons significantly.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Tianming plunged into the gentle Thunder Pool.
Upon entry, Lin Tianming could feel the gentle Thunder Power nourishing his body, making him stronger than usual.
Thinking of Teacher Jiang Han's words, Lin Tianming immediately activated the Furious Thunder Armor.
As soon as the Furious Thunder Armor was activated, the gentle power of thunder and lightning from the pool not only nourished his body but also continuously charged the armor.
With the continuous charging by the gentle Thunder Power, Lin Tianming could vividly feel the defensive power of the Furious Thunder Armor surge rapidly, also granting him an unending flow of Thunder Power for use.
"It can even be used this way... Such magical and gentle Thunder Power!"
Lin Tianming's exclamation made Jiang Han quite proud.
[Of course, it's magical. Do you not realize who your teacher is? This gentle Thunder Power can greatly enhance the defensive power of your Furious Thunder Armor in a short time, as well as provide you with a vast amount of Thunder Power to use, further enhancing your combat power. It's an excellent method to boost both offense and defense in a short time!]
[I also watched that fight of Meng Xiyue; her Awakened Beast has a Divine Domain Skill with growth potential, and she's even stronger than your little girlfriend Ye Qingxue. Just in case, I must also boost your combat power!]
Lin Tianming was moved by hearing Jiang Han's thoughts and her help.
Meng Xiyue had advanced to Level 17 before him, and although they were both at Level 17 now, Lin Tianming felt that he must not take her lightly.
With each level up, top Awakened like Meng Xiyue, who had divine-level understanding of superpowers from their previous lives, are bound to unlock more powerful abilities.
With this in mind, Lin Tianming focused even more on absorbing the nourishment from the Mild Thunder Pool, optimizing his condition.
After a morning of nourishment from the Mild Thunder Pool, Lin Tianming's Furious Thunder Armor's defense had far surpassed its previous state, and the Thunder Power he possessed was also much greater than before.
Though temporary, this was crucial for Lin Tianming, who was about to face a tough battle.
"Go ahead, don't waste this Thunder Power."
Listening to Jiang Han's words and feeling the surging Thunder Power fill his body, Lin Tianming asked her.
"Teacher Jiang Han, aren't you going to come and watch my match against Meng Xiyue?"
Jiang Han shook her head: "No need, just do your best."
Seeing Jiang Han's response, Lin Tianming took a deep breath, ready to depart from the Thunder Awakening Venue.
Just as he was about to leave, Jiang Han seemed to recall something and stopped him.
"Wait!"
Lin Tianming turned around, puzzled, "Is there something else you need to tell me, Teacher Jiang Han?"
"If you can't win, don't use the Super Position Forbidden Curse you duplicated from me. It's your lifesaving trump card. Although it's the Purple Lightning Demon Prison that targets a single entity, it can easily destroy the protective barrier of the Wind Bell Arena.
The arena is smaller than the area sealed by the Purple Lightning Demon Prison. If the protective barrier breaks, some of the spectating students will inevitably be killed or trapped."
[What's the deal with that Meng Xiyue? I remember this kid from North Shore Academy wasn't this powerful in her last life...]
[From my discreet observations of Meng Xiyue, her displayed combat power seems stronger than this foolish student I'm training.]
"I have a premonition... Without resorting to the Super Position Forbidden Curse, Tianming will likely lose this battle..."
Lin Tianming heard Jiang Han's thoughts and understood why she specifically warned him not to use the Super Position Forbidden Curse.
She believed that he would be defeated by Meng Xiyue!
Lin Tianming didn't think he would lose.
Was it just because she had a Divine Beast, the Li Fire Bird, and a Divine Dao Domain growing Skill?
He had directly defeated Ye Qingxue, who possessed a Divine Dao Domain Skill!
The addition of a Divine Beast with Divine Dao Domain Skills did not scare Lin Tianming at all!
"Rest assured, Teacher Jiang Han, I won't let you down. In this battle, as the sole student of Jiuzhou's first Top Awakener, I will be victorious!"
After dropping such a confident line, Lin Tianming left under the somewhat astounded gaze of Jiang Han.
It took a while for Jiang Han to recover her composure.
"This brat is quite confident, not embarrassing me after all... he sure knows how to pay a nice compliment!"
Murmuring to herself, Jiang Han also left the Thunder Awakening Venue and headed towards the Wind Bell Arena.
She had clearly told Lin Tianming that she wouldn't go, but as his teacher, Jiang Han still couldn't let go of her most precious student.
She concealed her presence well and quickly arrived at the Wind Bell Arena, finding a hidden spot to watch over the Wind Bell Arena from a not-too-distant vantage point.
At this time, Lin Tianming and Meng Xiyue had already entered the Wind Bell Arena.
"Lin Tianming, I've long admired your reputation, and I'm truly happy to have the chance to match wits with you today!"
"You're finally here. Since my rebirth, I've been looking forward to taking revenge on you at every moment!"
Meng Xiyue showed no outward hostility, but the murderous intent in her heart still made Lin Tianming not dare to take her lightly.
"Junior Brother Tianming, I've come to cheer you on in person, you can't lose!"
Mo Jinghong's familiar voice came from outside the arena, and Lin Tianming looked towards the source of the sound, seeing Mo Jinghong waving to him.
With that glance, Lin Tianming also noticed that Chu Yunfei, his roommate, had arrived as well.
"Tianming, whether our Great Emperor Academy can maintain its title as the number one in Jiuzhou is all up to you!"
Not just Mo Jinghong and Chu Yunfei, but even Wang Yanran and Wang Jian had come to watch the battle.
However, he did not see Feng Lan and Ye Qingxue.
He wondered what Qingxue and Feng Lan had been busy with these days...
"Bearing so many people's hopes, it's a pity they're all blind, never expecting that beneath your seemingly righteous exterior, you hide such a vicious and malicious heart!"
"Your teacher will be killed by your own hands, and the father of your girlfriend from your past life, Miss Feng of the Feng Family, will also be killed by you. Let me personally strangle you here and eliminate a menace to the people!"
Snapped back to reality by Meng Xiyue's thoughts, Lin Tianming took a deep breath and entered combat mode.
Seeing that Lin Tianming was looking at her, Meng Xiyue also smiled and asked, "Lin Tianming, will you make the first move, or shall I?"
Challenged by Meng Xiyue's question, Lin Tianming's lips curved slightly upwards.
"Whoever makes the first move is fine, let's just begin!"
As he spoke, under Meng Xiyue's widened, beautiful eyes, Lin Tianming was the first to strike.
The rushing Lin Tianming was surrounded by terrifying Thunder Power, rapidly closing in on Meng Xiyue.
Meng Xiyue reacted quickly enough, attempting to dodge right away, but still had her left hand painfully numbed by the Thunder Power circulating around Lin Tianming.
"It seems you're not very good at close combat, Meng Xiyue!"
With Lin Tianming's taunting voice in her ears, Meng Xiyue was not provoked by his goading and quickly put some distance between herself and Lin Tianming.
"Resorting to sneak attacks... just as cunning and sly as you were in your past life!"
With some distance between them, a trace of anger flickered in Meng Xiyue's beautiful eyes, and the space around her began to tremble with her rage.
"Today, I will turn you to ashes under the flames of the Divine Beast Li Fire Bird's Divine Dao Domain!"
"Li Fire Bird!"

REINCARNATED AS A PLAYBOY: I CAN HEAR MY REBORN EXES' THOUGHTSC119 - 118: The Four Divine Beasts Appear! Can Lin Tianming Win Against Meng Xiyue Like This?
Chapter 119: Chapter 118: The Four Divine Beasts Appear! Can Lin Tianming Win Against Meng Xiyue Like This?
Lin Tianming originally wanted to play longer with Meng Xiyue, but he didn't expect her to summon a Divine Beast right from the start, which made him instantly tense.
Meng Xiyue, when fighting with others, would at least try other Awakened Beasts first.
Directly using a Divine Beast against him, how much did she hate the original owner?
The cry of the Li Fire Bird tore through the sky as it flew out from the Guardian Beast Seal in Meng Xiyue's palm.
"Li Fire Burning Sky!"
As Meng Xiyue shouted, the Li Fire Bird also swept up the Burning Sky Li Fire, launching an attack at Lin Tianming.
The Power of Li Fire, having touched the understanding of the Divine Dao Domain, boiled and burned, similarly to yesterday's battle with Yong Yu, triggering the protective barrier of the Wind Bell Arena right from the start.
Even with the protective barrier confining the might of Li Fire Burning Sky within Wind Bell Arena, the surrounding students watching couldn't help but retreat a few steps in fright.
"Yong Yu was defeated by this move yesterday. Lin Tianming is just a first-year student; can he handle Meng Xiyue's move?"
"I'm skeptical... Although Lin Tianming also defeated Lei Dong before, he didn't win as effortlessly as Meng Xiyue, who defeated the top second-year student, Yong Yu. Lin Tianming is likely no match for her!"
Lin Tianming was not influenced by the onlookers' comments. Facing the Burning Sky Li Fire, he did not dodge but instead charged directly toward Meng Xiyue through the Li Fire.
Meng Xiyue sneered at Lin Tianming's reckless act.
[This is a skill that has touched the Divine Dao Domain; even if its full power at Level 17 isn't completely unleashed, it's not something ordinary skills can compare with. You think you can break through my Li Fire Burning Sky? That's a fool's dream!]
Just as she was indulging in her boast, the sudden disappearance of Lin Tianming made Meng Xiyue's smile freeze.
The next moment, she sharply sensed someone appearing behind her.
Lin Tianming's body shimmered with the light of Spiritual Power Ascension as he reformed his physical body.
He had just directly performed Spiritual Ability Transformation to dodge the terrifying Divine Dao Domain Power of Li Fire Burning Sky as a spiritual body.
Closing in on Meng Xiyue again, Lin Tianming performed a close-range stomp.
Thunderstorm Frenzy!
Thunderous Trample!
With the enhancement of Thunderstorm Frenzy, the might of Thunderous Trample shook the ground and stormed at Meng Xiyue.
Although Lin Tianming's sudden approach surprised Meng Xiyue, she was not hit by the Thunder Power like before this time.
[Last time it was a sneak attack; that's why my left hand was numbed by the shock. Now that I am in combat mode, you think you can hurt me again?]
As Meng Xiyue's inner voice sounded, a Fire Wall rose from the ground, blocking the might of Lin Tianming's Thunderous Trample.
Seeing his close-range attack blocked, Lin Tianming tried to perform Spiritual Ability Transformation again, ignoring the Fire Wall's defense to reach Meng Xiyue.
Who would have thought that the space around Lin Tianming would be so distorted by the flames, forcefully preventing him from performing Spiritual Ability Transformation?
This move instantly reminded Lin Tianming of his previous sparring with Feng Lan; Feng Lan had also employed a similar method.
This was not a skill that could be copied, but a Divine-level understanding of superpowers, specifically used to break moves by the Goddess Reincarnator who had once ascended to godhood.
[As the former Guardian Beast Goddess in my previous life, with a Divine-level sense far surpassing mortals in the realm of thousands of superpowers, your move to transform into a soul may be impressive, but as long as I seal it, you can't use it to dodge my damage!]
Just like Feng Lan!
Meng Xiyue's triumphant inner voice also confirmed Lin Tianming's guess.
Unable to use Spiritual Ability Transformation to dodge, Lin Tianming faced Li Fire Bird's Li Fire Burning Sky skill again.
[This time I'll see how you dodge! Disintegrate under the Li Fire Burning Sky!]
Meng Xiyue forcefully preventing Lin Tianming from performing Spiritual Ability Transformation also revealed a smile as if victory was in her grasp.
Faced with this severe crisis, Lin Tianming put all his effort into activating the Furious Thunder Armor nurtured by Teacher Jiang Han all morning for defense.
Furious Thunder Armor!
Fully charged throughout the morning and driven to its fullest, the defensive power of the Furious Thunder Armor far exceeded Lin Tianming's usual defensive capabilities.
Even... it touched the Divine Dao Domain!
Feeling the defensive power of the Furious Thunder Armor rapidly rising to touch the Divine Dao Domain, Lin Tianming was overjoyed.
The next instant, Lin Tianming was enveloped by the Li Fire Flames of Burning Sky.
But under the Divine Dao Domain defensive power of the Furious Thunder Armor, Lin Tianming did not sustain any damage.
[Isn't this the Thunderstorm Fierce Bear's Furious Thunder Armor? How could it have the defensive power that touches the Divine Dao Domain!]
Meng Xiyue was dumbfounded, not expecting Lin Tianming to elevate the defensive power of the Furious Thunder Armor to touch the Divine Dao Domain.
The fierce attack of Li Fire Burning Sky and the absolute defense of the Furious Thunder Armor consumed each other, barely before the Furious Thunder Armor shattered, the might of Li Fire Burning Sky was also exhausted.
Just when Lin Tianming was delighted that the Furious Thunder Armor, charged by Jiang Han, successfully blocked the might of Li Fire Burning Sky, Meng Xiyue's furious inner voice made him tense up again.
[Divine Domain Beast Taming Skill—Sparrow Feather Flowing Fire!]
There's another Divine Domain Beast Taming Skill?
Under Lin Tianming's intense gaze which doubled the pressure, wings of the Li Fire Bird flapped, sweeping out sparrow feathers like flowing fire, enveloping flames with Divine Domain might attacking him.
Furious Thunder Armor!
Lin Tianming once again activated the Furious Thunder Armor charged by Jiang Han, preparing to block the attack a second time.
However, Meng Xiyue, while commanding the Li Fire Bird to perform Sparrow Feather Flowing Fire, also continued issuing a second command.
[Li Fire Burning Sky!]
Two Divine Dao Domain fire attribute Beast Taming Skills attacked Lin Tianming simultaneously, something his Furious Thunder Armor simply couldn't withstand.
Don't think you're the only one with two different Divine Dao Domain Skills!
Lin Tianming's eyes also darkened, as his body ignited with the boiling Phoenix Intense Flames.
Touching the Divine Dao Domain, the Phoenix Flame transformed into the Phoenix Flame Divine Shield, together with the Furious Thunder Armor, they protected Lin Tianming.
Protected by the dual shields of thunder and fire, Lin Tianming also successfully defended against the Li Fire Bird's dual Divine Dao Domain Skill attacks under the stunned gaze of all the bystanders at the scene.
"How... how is this possible!"
This scene also made Meng Xiyue lose control of her emotions and cry out in shock.
Outside the arena, Wang Jian quietly asked his older cousin Wang Yanran, "Cousin, isn't that your Phoenix Flame Divine Shield? Did you duplicate it for that guy?"
Wang Yanran calmly replied, "That's not a duplicate, he learned it on his own."
"On his... on his own? Doesn't his Divine Hand only have Duplicate Ability? He can even learn skills that are not his own attribute?"
Wang Jian looked bewildered, completely unable to understand how Lin Tianming learned his cousin's Phoenix Flame Divine Shield.
Wang Yanran did not continue to respond to Wang Jian's question but continued to watch the battle with a calm expression.
In contrast to Wang Yanran's calm, Mo Jinghong was cheering Lin Tianming on from outside the arena.
"Well done, Junior Brother Lin Tianming! I knew you could do it, keep it up, knock her down, I'll treat you to something delicious if you win!"
The surrounding people's favorable comments towards Lin Tianming also made Meng Xiyue's face look very unpleasant.
[This guy didn't know any Divine Domain Skills in his previous life, how come I, reborn earlier in this life, learn it ahead of time, and he can too?]
[Is this really fate trying to target me? This life, relying on the memories of rebirth, I became stronger than in my previous life, only for fate to give Lin Tianming, this deceitful man, even greater opportunities?]
[I... I refuse to accept this! Why does fate target me? If this is so-called fate, and destiny cannot be defied, then today... I, Meng Xiyue, will defy the heavens, shatter this cycle of fate, and take control of my own destiny!]
Affected by her past life's memories of being forsaken in her Guardian Beast Talent, Meng Xiyue's aura burst forth even stronger.
Watching this scene from the shadows, Jiang Han couldn't help but show a hint of worry.
"The real test is coming. This is the true strength of this Guardian Beast Master girl. Good luck, Friend Tianming..."
In the center of the battlefield, Lin Tianming, sensing Meng Xiyue's rapidly escalating momentum, was also shocked.
This Meng Xiyue... could actually grow stronger?
Under Lin Tianming's intense gaze, Meng Xiyue's raised right palm once again flashed with the water attribute Awakened Beast seal.
A sky-splitting roar burst from the Guardian Beast Seal, and immediately after, the entire Wind Bell Arena surged with one water tornado after another.
Moreover, the power of these water tornadoes was by no means inferior to the Divine Dao Domain power on Li Fire Bird.
"Come out, Canghai Beast!"
[Divine Dao Domain Water Attribute Beast Taming Skill — Canghai Dragon Storm!]
In the next instant, a gigantic Awakened Beast, like the vast sea, broke through the seal.
As the Canghai Beast appeared, the water tornadoes touching the Divine Dao Domain directly attacked Lin Tianming.
Seeing this, Lin Tianming also immediately deployed his Furious Thunder Armor and Phoenix Flame Divine Shield.
However, while the Divine Beast, the Canghai Beast, was using its Divine Dao Domain Skill, the Li Fire Bird was also not idle and attacked Lin Tianming with two more Divine Dao Domain Skills.
Suddenly facing a pincer attack from three Divine Dao Domain Skills, and with his Spiritual Body form locked from transforming Spiritual Energy, Lin Tianming could only further enhance his defense.
Mechanical Transformation!
[So there's a backup plan? Good... I want to see who has more tricks up their sleeve!]
Seeing Lin Tianming further enhance his defense through Mechanical Transformation, Meng Xiyue briefly shocked, also had a sharp look in her eyes.
"Desolate Split Tiger!"
With a delicate shout, the water attribute seal in Meng Xiyue's palm transformed again into an Earth Attribute seal.
In the next instant, an Earth Attribute tiger Divine Beast, also emanating a Divine Tao Domain aura, leapt out from the seal.
This scene also caused Lin Tianming's pupils to slightly constrict.
Three... three Divine Beasts?
Yet, what followed was even more shocking for Lin Tianming, as well as everyone present.
Meng Xiyue's Earth Attribute seal continued to transform, turning into a cold Ice Attribute seal.
"Moon Cold!"
Next, a Divine Beast with an Ice Attribute Divine Dao aura also flew out from the Guardian Beast Seal.
Thus, all four Divine Beasts that Meng Xiyue had subdued appeared.
[With these four Divine Beasts in hand, today I, Meng Xiyue, will surely defy fate!]
Seeing this, the surrounding students watching the match were also deeply stunned by Meng Xiyue's four Divine Beasts.
Just now, a single Li Fire Bird had Lin Tianming struggling to cope, and now Meng Xiyue summoned three more Divine Beasts in a row.
Can Lin Tianming really win against Meng Xiyue who possesses the four great Divine Beasts?

REINCARNATED AS A PLAYBOY: I CAN HEAR MY REBORN EXES' THOUGHTSC120 - 119: Absorbing Divine Beast Power to Take the Field Personally! Meng Xiyue's Final Trump Card!
Chapter 120: Chapter 119: Absorbing Divine Beast Power to Take the Field Personally! Meng Xiyue's Final Trump Card!
Outside the arena, Meng Haoran, the brother of Meng Xiyue, was also stunned by her ability to control four divine beasts.
After the brief shock, unlike the demoralized students from the Great Emperor Academy, he, standing on Meng Xiyue's side, wore a proud smile.
"Sister Xiyue, I never expected you to hide so many powerful Awakened Beasts. I really want to see how Lin Tianming can withstand Sister Xiyue's attack! Sister, the revenge for the beating I took a few days ago all depends on you now!"
Wang Jian, who was with Wang Yanran, was astounded as well.
He thought that since Lin Tianming had learned the Phoenix Flame Divine Shield from his cousin Wang Yanran, he would surely win against Meng Xiyue.
However, the rapidly changing situation on the battlefield deeply shocked him again.
"Cousin, the three newly released Awakened Beasts of Meng Xiyue are as strong as the previous Li Fire Bird. I think Lin Tianming is likely to lose this time!"
Wang Yanran didn't speak, but her solemn expression indicated that she was no longer as calm as before, and she was somewhat worried about Lin Tianming.
Mo Jinghong, who had been cheering for Lin Tianming from outside the arena, also became silent, even more nervous than Lin Tianming inside.
Lin Tianming's roommate, Chu Yunfei, was already preparing to personally take Lin Tianming to the infirmary for treatment, assuming Meng Xiyue would soon beat him down.
Even those somewhat related to Lin Tianming did not believe in his chances, and naturally, the nearby students from the Great Emperor Academy felt even more certain of his defeat.
"Desolate Split Slash!"
"Moon Cold Solitary Shadow!"
With Meng Xiyue's cute shout, the Earth Attribute Divine Beast, Desolate Split Tiger, and Ice Attribute Divine Beast, Moon Cold, also successively unleashed their Divine Domain Skills.
Facing the Divine Dao Domain pressure of the four attribute divine beasts, Lin Tianming's pressure also peaked.
However, he did not give up.
On the contrary, his will to fight reached an unprecedented height, spirited and unbreakable.
Thunder Wall!
A waterfall-like thunder descended from the sky, forming a Thunder Wall, splitting the Wind Bell Arena into two.
This was also Lin Tianming's last skill to enhance his defensive power.
When Meng Xiyue saw this, she immediately gave an order.
"Tear apart his Thunder Wall, Desolate Split Tiger!"
The Desolate Split Tiger had just unleashed the Divine Domain Skill Desolate Split Slash and rushed to the Thunder Wall.
The earth-splitting claws instantly shattered the Thunder Wall, and one after another, the Divine Domain Skills hit Lin Tianming without giving him any chance to put up the Thunder Wall again.
Boom!
Under the bombardment of the Divine Domain Skills from the four divine beasts, Lin Tianming's defenses, even with Furious Thunder Armor, Phoenix Flame Divine Shield, and Mechanical Body, disintegrated in an instant.
The Furious Thunder Armor and Phoenix Flame Divine Shield shattered, and the Mechanical Body also retracted back to his physical body.
Lin Tianming was just withstanding the might of the Four Great Divine Beasts' Divine Domain Skills and was about to reassemble the Mechanical Body, Phoenix Flame Divine Shield, and Furious Thunder Armor when these three defense skills instantly shattered under the relentless and fearsome offensive might.
His Physical Body, exposed to the onslaught of the Divine Dao Domain Skills of various attributes, Lin Tianming was still barely able to re-gather defensive skills, just like undergoing Jiang Han's Thunder Pond Baptism training.
But this was not training; it was a real fight.
He continued defending until his strength was exhausted, and knowing Meng Xiyue's hatred for the original host, she would definitely not hold back.
Thinking of this, Lin Tianming, while he still had considerable strength, decided to abandon defense and counter-attack under Meng Xiyue's Divine Dao Domain attacks.
Spirit Body Spark!
The invisible Spiritual Power Ascension attack directly targeting the soul was launched; the overconfident Meng Xiyue was suddenly startled by Lin Tianming's Spirit Body Spark, causing a brief mental breakdown.
During this brief lapse, the fearsome power of the Divine Domain Skills was also affected.
However, the most crucial part was that Meng Xiyue's block on Lin Tianming's Spiritual Ability Transformation was lifted.
Spiritual Ability Transformation!
Seizing this fleeting opportunity, Lin Tianming broke free and once again attacked behind Meng Xiyue.
Meng Xiyue quickly recovered from her mental breakdown and noticed Lin Tianming's proximity, immediately trying to distance herself.
This time, to prevent Meng Xiyue from using the Li Fire Bird to block his attack with a Fire Wall, Lin Tianming placed a hand on her shoulder.
Thunderous Trample!
Although he didn't stomp his foot, Lin Tianming still successfully unleashed the might of Thunderous Trample.
The direct contact from Thunderous Trample forcefully interrupted Meng Xiyue's attempt to distance herself, electrifying her into continuous shrieks of agony.
Seeing their master Meng Xiyue being caught up close by Lin Tianming, the four Divine Beasts rushed back without needing an order, attempting a rescue.
Faced with the sudden assault of the four Divine Beasts, Lin Tianming's body shone with Spiritual Power Light. He instantly conjured a Spiritual Power Storm to block their rescue attempt.
Under the dual assault of the Spiritual Power Storm targeting both the physical body and the soul, the four Divine Beasts also showed signs of a mental breakdown, successfully delayed by Lin Tianming.
He continued to employ Thunderous Trample, leveraging the Thunder Power that Jiang Han had charged him with all morning, continuously electrifying Meng Xiyue.
If he could render Meng Xiyue unconscious and rob her of her combat abilities, he would win this sparring match.
Lin Tianming's idea was good, but Meng Xiyue, who was in close proximity, similarly refused to submit just like him earlier.
[That despicable Lin Tianming!]
[I can't believe I am still doomed to be pinned down by you in my second life!]
[Break free!]
Meng Xiyue, unwilling to be rendered powerless by Lin Tianming's electrifying assault, summoned a Divine Dao Domain aura identical to that of her four Divine Beasts.
This scene made Lin Tianming's heart skip a beat.
The next second, he was forcefully repelled by the surge of the same-origin aura from Meng Xiyue and her four Divine Beasts.
Spirit Body Spark!
Spiritual Power Storm!
Lin Tianming didn't want to miss this rare opportunity to be close to Meng Xiyue. Attempting to keep Meng Xiyue and her four Divine Beasts mentally broken through the Spiritual Power Ascension Skill, he aimed to defeat her in close combat.
Seeing Lin Tianming attempt to use the same tactic, Meng Xiyue merely let out a cold laugh.
Under the bolstering auras of the four different attribute Divine Beasts, Meng Xiyue and her creatures resisted Lin Tianming's Soul Attack.
Moreover, under Lin Tianming's intense gaze, Meng Xiyue's aura began to climb rapidly.
"Since you like being close to me so much, then as you wish, Lin Tianming!"
Under the incredulous gazes of everyone present, the Li Fire Bird, Canghai Beast, Desolate Split Tiger, and Moon Cold all transformed into pure attribute powers, then swooped towards Meng Xiyue, who absorbed them completely.
"Meng Xiyue just absorbed her four Awakened Beasts?"
"What kind of skill is this? I've never seen other Guardian Beast Master Superpower Awakeners possess such a skill to absorb the power of Awakened Beasts!"
"Guardian Beast Masters are most afraid of close quarters combat; she absorbed her Awakened Beasts. Could it be that she intends to fight close-quarters?"
With the perfect absorption of the attribute powers of the four Divine Beasts, fiery blazing wings erupted behind Meng Xiyue.
Propelled by the flapping of the fiery wings, she slowly ascended into the air, looking down on Lin Tianming from above.
With a flip of her hands upward, Meng Xiyue's left palm conjured an Earth Sword, spiral and spiked, while her right palm formed a crescent-shaped Ice Sword.
Her beautiful eyes circulated with the water attribute energy waves of the Canghai Beast, and under her will, the Wind Bell Arena was enveloped by water tornadoes one after another.
Even Jiang Han, hidden in the shadows, was stunned, having not anticipated that Meng Xiyue could absorb the powers of her four Divine Beasts for herself.
As a Top Awakened, Jiang Han had encountered many of the top Guardian Beast Master Superpower Awakeners.
But none had ever managed like Meng Xiyue to absorb the powers of Awakened Beasts for their own use.
The greatest weakness of a Guardian Beast Master is their own lack of combat strength.
Once someone gets close, even the strongest Guardian Beast Master could potentially have their life threatened by a much lower-level opponent.
Now that Meng Xiyue can convert the power of the Awakened Beasts for herself, she has essentially overcome the biggest weakness of the Guardian Beast Master!
Capable of commanding Awakened Beasts for long-range combat and absorbing their powers without fear of close combat...
Such Meng Xiyue is truly invincible!
Considering this, Jiang Han took a deep breath, ready to step in at any moment to protect Lin Tianming.
Lest he suffer too devastating a defeat in this battle, resulting in damage that could affect the foundation of his Superpower Talent.
"Later I must comfort Friend Tianming properly; since his debut, he has never experienced such a crushing defeat. Losing to Meng Xiyue this way, he might suffer a complete mental breakdown..."

Chapter 121: Chapter 120: Soul Capture Shows Its Power! Lin Tianming Wins with a Punch that Sends His Opponent Flying!
"Lin Tianming, you are bound to lose today!"
Absorbing the power of the four Divine Beasts, Meng Xiyue let out a fierce shout as she personally controlled the Canghai Beast's Divine Dao Domain Skill, the Canghai Dragon Storm, sweeping towards Lin Tianming.
At the same moment, she did not stay in place but plunged down towards Lin Tianming with sizzling hot wings formed from the power of the Li Fire Bird.
The Earth Sword transformed from the Desolate Split Tiger spiraled like a drill with a terrifying aura of the earth's might winding around its blade.
The Ice Sword, transformed by the Moon Cold's power, swept through the air like a crescent moon, its radiance filled with the cold ice power that could freeze everything.
Previously, Meng Xiyue, who had been fighting from a distance by controlling the four Divine Beasts, changed her battle strategy and actively chose to engage in close combat with Lin Tianming.
Facing Meng Xiyue, who had overcome the weakness of Guardian Beast Masters in close combat, the pressure on Lin Tianming increased.
Just as he prepared to confront her head-on, Meng Xiyue suddenly became enveloped in flowing fire, accelerating towards him like a shooting star.
"What incredible speed!"
Lin Tianming, caught off guard, was unable to make any attack or defense in time.
Unable to do anything else, Lin Tianming had no choice but to dodge.
Spiritual Ability Transformation!
"Converge for me!"
Realizing that Lin Tianming was going to use Spiritual Ability Transformation to evade injury again, Meng Xiyue also immediately used her divine-level understanding of superpowers to once again block Lin Tianming who could have spiritualized.
Sizzle!
Unable to use Spiritual Ability Transformation, Lin Tianming strained to evade to the side, but facing the meteor-like speeding assault of Meng Xiyue, his dodging was still a fraction too slow.
The clothing on his arm was torn by the sword transformed from a Divine Beast, and his own skin was also sliced open, leaving a shallow wound.
Drip-drop!
Blood dripped from the wound onto the ground. After inspecting his wound, Lin Tianming was relieved that his quick-witted response kept the sword scratch shallow and not too deep.
From the sidelines, Lin Tianming's roommate, Chu Yunfei, couldn't help but say, "Tianming, maybe... you should just concede? It's just a spar; there's no need to push yourself so hard!"
"I haven't lost yet!"
Even with an injured arm, Lin Tianming was still unwilling to give up.
Wang Yanran and Mo Jinghong, also outside the arena, watched the scene with taut nerves, sweating for Lin Tianming.
Jiang Han, hidden in the shadows, noticed Meng Xiyue's renewed close-range attacks on Lin Tianming, and she couldn't watch anymore.
"That stubborn kid... still acting tough even when injured... really gives people a headache. Looks like I have to step in; otherwise, this foolish boy will definitely be crippled by Meng Xiyue! The path of cultivating superpowers is long, and a single defeat doesn't mean you'll always be inferior to Meng Xiyue. Sometimes, setbacks are necessary for growth. I have faith in you; I believe you will definitely surpass Meng Xiyue in the future!"
Just as Jiang Han was convinced that Lin Tianming was about to be defeated and was about to step in to rescue him, she stopped in her tracks.
Under her incredulous gaze, faced with Meng Xiyue's twin Divine Beast swords assault, Lin Tianming actually managed to block it this time!
At that moment, Lin Tianming was holding a Red Flame Flying Wheel Battle Blade in his right hand to directly counter Meng Xiyue's double swords of Divine Beasts, and he held his ground against Meng Xiyue.
"That blazing Flying Wheel... it has a presence as potent as the Feng Family heirloom Divine Artifact Wind Sword in that girl's hand. Where did Tianming get such a Divine Artifact?"
Observing closely, even though Jiang Han did not know the specific name of the weapon Lin Tianming held, she was sure it was a Divine Artifact.
Meng Xiyue, who had been ready to deliver a fatal strike to Lin Tianming, also did not expect Lin Tianming to block her attack.
Noticing Meng Xiyue's disbelief, Lin Tianming, with the transformed Red Flame Flying Wheel Battle Blade in hand, pushed back forcefully.
His lips slightly curled into a smile: "Surprised? Delighted, dear little Meng Xiyue?"
[A Divine Artifact... it's actually a Divine Artifact!]
[In his past life, this guy wasn't even close to possessing a Divine Artifact at this level, so why does this despicable person in my life, with the help of past life's memories and my Divine Beasts, get the chance to obtain a Divine Artifact so early?]
[Is it really my fate to be ruined at his hands? I can't accept it... I won't... accept it!]
Stimulated by Lin Tianming's words, Meng Xiyue once again launched an assault towards him.
Clang!
Lin Tianming, with the Red Flame Flying Wheel in hand, once again confronted Meng Xiyue's twin swords of Divine Beasts head-on.
This time, however, even though he wielded a Divine Artifact, he was forced back by an enraged Meng Xiyue.
"Even with a Divine Artifact in your possession, you're no match for me!"
As the Earth Sword stabbed towards Lin Tianming, it also tore up the ground, causing earthen spikes to burst forth one after another.
The Ice Sword also released a frosty chill. Although Lin Tianming wasn't frozen due to his Red Flame Flying Wheel, his movements were significantly slowed.
Fiery Flame Sparrow Feathers shot out densely from the blazing wings on Meng Xiyue's back.
The Canghai Dragon Storm's water tornadoes enveloped him from all directions, giving Lin Tianming no chance to breathe.
Melding with the fierce close-quarters assault of Meng Xiyue's dual swords slashing down, Lin Tianming's figure suddenly flew backward like a kite with its string snapped.
In the shadows, Jiang Han watched Lin Tianming being sent flying, murmuring to herself: "So it seems that even with the help of the Divine Artifact, it's still too forced, huh?"
While Jiang Han was preparing to jump into the fray to rescue Lin Tianming if needed, Lin Tianming who was flying backwards somehow managed to stabilize his figure forcibly.
Even though he steadied himself, Lin Tianming, who had been hit hard by Meng Xiyue, had blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
This Meng Xiyue is really strong; it seems I have to use that skill that can even affect Teacher Jiang Han!
Conventional methods were no longer effective against Meng Xiyue. Moreover, Lin Tianming had been warned by Jiang Han not to use his most powerful life-saving trump card, the Super Position Forbidden Curse, at full strength. He also was not willing to reveal any more of his Divine Artifacts in this fight...
Considering various factors, Lin Tianming then decided to employ the skill that had once helped him successfully prank Jiang Han.
Soul Capture!
As Lin Tianming activated his current strongest Spiritual Power Ascension Skill, a powerful Light of Spiritual Ascension burst forth around him.
Seeing the Light of Spiritual Ascension surging around Lin Tianming, Meng Xiyue continued to rush at him, prepared to strike him hard, while looking disdainful.
[You want to attack my soul directly and cause a Mental Breakdown?]
[It's just a pity that after absorbing the Power of the Four Divine Beasts, I was already able to perfectly defend against your previous Soul Attack. Now, if you want to use the same trick on me, there's no chance of success!]
[Let my dual swords dispense with your sins right here!]
However, just as Meng Xiyue was being smug in her thoughts, her body, which was in high-speed pursuit of Lin Tianming, suddenly quivered violently, like being shocked.
"Such... such a strong Soul Attack!"
Watching the Spiritual Ascension Ball before Lin Tianming gradually condense and form, Meng Xiyue instantly understood that the Soul Attack Skill Lin Tianming was using this time was different from before.
To be precise, it was stronger than the previous Soul Attack!
With that in mind, Meng Xiyue wanted to forcibly destroy the condensed ball of light before Lin Tianming, which was smaller but contained stronger soul power, to stop Lin Tianming's Soul Attack.
But just at that moment, Lin Tianming's eyes radiated the power of Soul Capture, shattering her absolute soul defense formed by the Power of Four Divine Beasts.
Her brain roiled, her soul trembled, and Meng Xiyue felt an unprecedented assault on her soul.
[This Soul Attack isn't just to cause a brief Mental Breakdown, it's to make me completely lose consciousness from sheer pain!]
Meng Xiyue, being a Goddess Reincarnator, had already realized this.
But even Teacher Jiang Han had been left bewildered for a long time under this move from Lin Tianming, and as a Goddess Reincarnator, she too, with a mere ten-level, saw her eyes gradually dim, losing focus.
In the shadows, Jiang Han recalled how Lin Tianming had just learned the Soul Capturing Skill and had played a prank on her.
But she wasn't angry; instead, having been quite worried about Lin Tianming, she now showed a trace of relieved smile.
"I actually forgot this foolish lad had this trick up his sleeve. If I had remembered that he could do this from the beginning, I wouldn't have been so worried about him. Even I was left in a state of confusion for a while by this move; Meng Xiyue may be amazing, but her defeat was already sealed!"
As predicted by Jiang Han, Meng Xiyue, like a soulless puppet, had her eyes dim, helplessly dropping her powerless head.
With the Power of Four Divine Beasts dissipated, her body swayed violently, teetering on the verge of collapsing.
The Four Divine Beasts reappeared, with the Li Fire Bird being the first to support its despondent mistress, Meng Xiyue.
The Desolate Split Tiger, Moon Cold, and Canghai Beast, seeing their mistress reduced to such a state, angrily launched their attacks at Lin Tianming.
Lin Tianming, whose strength was almost depleted, was quite worried, but seeing that without Meng Xiyue to command them they were unable to use the skills that reach the level of Divine Dao Domain, the corner of his mouth slightly curled up.
"Without the skills you can only perform with the mutual support of Meng Xiyue, you're nothing in my eyes!"
The Red Flame Flying Wheel flew out from Lin Tianming's hand, striking both Moon Cold and Canghai Beast, sending their bodies flying on the spot.
Falling to the ground, having lent too much strength to Meng Xiyue just before, they no longer had the energy to stand.
The rapidly spinning Red Flame Flying Wheel returned to Lin Tianming's hand and transformed into the shape of claws.
The Red Flame Claws clashed with the tiger paws of the Desolate Split Tiger, but Lin Tianming effortlessly neutralized the tiger's attack and completely drained its remaining Divine Beast Power, leaving it unable to rise.
After safely placing Meng Xiyue, who was unconscious and swaying, on the ground, the Li Fire Bird launched its final attack against Lin Tianming for the sake of its mistress.
Seeing the Li Fire Bird approaching him without even the strength to fly, Lin Tianming did not dodge.
The claw-shaped Red Flame in his hand morphed into a gauntlet form, and Lin Tianming threw a punch directly at the Li Fire Bird's head.
Boom!
Under the shocked gazes of all the students spectating the event, the Li Fire Bird, which once possessed the might of Li Fire Burning Sky, was promptly sent flying by Lin Tianming's Red Flame Fist.
After flying a distance in mid-air and crashing to the ground, the Li Fire Bird, just like its mistress, was completely knocked out.
Off the field, Meng Xiyue's brother, Meng Haoran, struggled to accept that Meng Xiyue had been defeated by Lin Tianming in such a manner.
"Xiyue... Sister Xiyue actually lost? How... how is this possible? Wasn't she overpowering Lin Tianming just a moment ago? How... how did she suddenly lose consciousness and fall to the ground, unable to get up?"

REINCARNATED AS A PLAYBOY: I CAN HEAR MY REBORN EXES' THOUGHTSC122 - 121 Meng Xiyue's Dao Heart Shatters! Why Can't She Win Against Lin Tianming Even After Reliving a Lifetime!
Chapter 122: Chapter 121 Meng Xiyue's Dao Heart Shatters! Why Can't She Win Against Lin Tianming Even After Reliving a Lifetime!
Wang Jian, who was with Wang Yanran, was also puzzled as to how Lin Tianming suddenly turned defeat into victory.
Because from the situation at that time, Lin Tianming was already at his wit's end after failing to withstand Meng Xiyue's previous move.
Facing Meng Xiyue's all-out final assault, it should have been Lin Tianming who was defeated.
But it was at this most impossible moment of a comeback victory that Lin Tianming crushed Meng Xiyue.
"Cousin, how did Lin Tianming win? Did you see anything?"
Faced with Wang Jian's question, Wang Yanran, who once fought side by side with Lin Tianming and killed the Ghost-faced Fire Spirit Spider, did know how Lin Tianming defeated Meng Xiyue.
"It was a Soul Attack. Just now, the sphere of light that appeared before Junior Brother Tianming was a manifestation of Soul Power. He executed a stronger type of Soul Attack, breaking through Meng Xiyue's Soul Defense protected by her four Awakened Beasts and struck directly at Meng Xiyue's soul.
It seemed calm, but in reality, at that moment, Meng Xiyue's soul was under an unprecedented fierce assault, and unable to withstand it, she lost consciousness on the spot, completely losing her fighting power.
Without the power of Meng Xiyue, their Guardian Beast Master owner, her four rare and mighty Awakened Beasts were unable to exert the powerful force they had when she was present, let alone the fact that they had just lent their strength to Meng Xiyue, leaving them with very little power left. Naturally, they were no match for Junior Brother Tianming."
With Wang Yanran's analysis, Wang Jian and the other surrounding spectators from the academy also revealed looks of sudden realization.
"So that's what happened, I thought Meng Xiyue was about to win when she suddenly fainted. It turns out it was Lin Tianming's Soul Attack!"
"Haha! With this victory by first-year student Lin Tianming, our Imperial Academy's prestigious reputation has been upheld!"
"Yes! Both Lin Tianming and Meng Xiyue from North Shore Academy are freshmen, and although North Shore Academy has a monstrous talent like Meng Xiyue, our Imperial Academy, as Jiuzhou's number one Awakener Academy, also has Lin Tianming who is even stronger than Meng Xiyue. Now no one can say that our Imperial Academy doesn't deserve its number one ranking in Jiuzhou!"
Students from the nearby Imperial Academy started getting excited and discussing among themselves, feeling jubilant over Lin Tianming's victory over Meng Xiyue.
Only Meng Xiyue's brother, Meng Haoran, was very disappointed. He also hurried into the Wind Bell Arena where the fight had ended and helped his sister, who had fallen and fainted.
The four Divine Beasts also turned into a beam of light and were drawn back into the Guardian Beast Seal in Meng Xiyue's palm.
Lin Tianming smiled at Meng Haoran, who was very concerned about Meng Xiyue's condition, and said, "Don't worry, I held back. She's just unconscious and not seriously injured. I estimate she'll wake up on her own after a while."
In the shadows, Jiang Han, who had almost intervened several times, gazed at Lin Tianming's victorious figure, and she too revealed a relieved expression.
"It seems like he doesn't need my help after all..."
Murmuring to herself and no longer worried about Lin Tianming, Jiang Han left quietly without anyone noticing.
On the scene, Chu Yunfei and Mo Jinghong also rushed into the Wind Bell Arena, congratulating Lin Tianming on his victory over Meng Xiyue.
"Junior Brother Tianming, impressive! I thought you were done for just now; I was even thinking about whether to carry you to the infirmary or not. But you actually managed a comeback victory at the last moment!" Chu Yunfei said.
Hearing Chu Yunfei's comments about taking him to the infirmary, Lin Tianming responded, "I'm not that fragile!"
Mo Jinghong also winked at Lin Tianming: "Junior Brother Lin Tianming, I knew you could do it. It really was a thrilling fight. I told you before that if you won, I would treat you to something delicious. Just let me know what you want to eat!"
"That... Senior Sister Jing Hong, let's save the meal invitation for another time! Although I won, I am also greatly exhausted. Right now, I just want to go back to my dorm room and lie down!"
Upon hearing this, Mo Jinghong took a closer look at Lin Tianming's complexion.
Indeed, as Lin Tianming had said, despite still standing, his complexion was poor, clearly indicating how much he had taxed himself in the recent battle.
If he had not managed to defeat Meng Xiyue in one fell swoop just now, it would have been him lying on the ground with little strength left.
"Okay then, let's make plans for another time, Junior Brother Lin Tianming, if you want to rest, you should head back to the dormitory and rest early!"
Chu Yunfei saw that Mo Jinghong and Lin Tianming had finished their conversation, and he timely interjected: "Tianming, since you're heading back to the dormitory, let me accompany you back!"
"Sure, Yunfei, let's go, head back and catch some Z's!"
Lin Tianming nodded slightly as well, dragging his nearly exhausted body, he and Chu Yunfei left the Wind Bell Arena together.
Watching Lin Tianming's departing figure, Wang Jian quietly asked his cousin Wang Yanran while they were together.
"Cousin, aren't you going to say a few congratulatory words to Lin Tianming?"
"No, let's go too."
Wang Yanran had only been enthusiastically warm to Lin Tianming earlier to lower his guard.
Now, with so many people around, Wang Yanran maintained her image as the former student council president and calmly spoke before turning to leave.
Seeing Wang Yanran walk away like that, Wang Jian immediately followed after her.
"Cousin, wait for me!"
Meanwhile, inside the Wind Bell Arena, Meng Haoran carried his unconscious sister to the medical room.
Once at the medical room of the Imperial Academy, the school doctor did a checkup on the unconscious Meng Xiyue.
After confirming that Meng Xiyue merely exhausted her energy and was temporarily unconscious due to a soul stimulation, the school doctor promptly arranged a hospital bed for her to rest on.
Not long after lying down, much like what Lin Tianming had said earlier, Meng Xiyue slowly woke up from the effects of Soul Capture.
Seeing Meng Xiyue awake, Meng Haoran also told her the fact that she lost to Lin Tianming.
Through Meng Haoran's words, Meng Xiyue also quickly pieced together everything that had happened before she fainted.
After sorting out her thoughts, although Meng Xiyue was no longer affected by the Soul Attack, her beautiful eyes were still dim and spiritless as she gazed at the ceiling of the medical room, lost in thought.
Having been reborn, she thought that with the memories of becoming a god from her previous life, she could find a Divine Beast early at a low level and change her destiny, slaying Lin Tianming, the Heart Demon who had ruined her Guardian Beast Talent and tormented her entire life.
Yet in the end, even with the chance to obtain four Divine Beasts early on, she still lost to Lin Tianming.
Meng Xiyue firmly believed that being reborn, she would be able to sweep away all the enemies from her past life.
However, the harsh reality of losing to Lin Tianming completely shattered her resolute path of cultivation.
Why, after being reborn and gaining Divine Beast opportunities early on, was she still no match for Lin Tianming?
Was she destined to live through the nightmare of being trampled under Lin Tianming's foot again, having her dignity crushed to dust, and her Guardian Beast Talent wasted?
Damn heavens, since they allowed Meng Xiyue to be reborn and gain more opportunities, why did they also grant Lin Tianming so many chances, always keeping him ahead of her?
Was her desire to defy fate and change her destiny really so difficult?
The more she thought about it, the more despair she felt; Meng Xiyue's shattered resolve saw no glimpse of hope for defeating Lin Tianming and getting revenge. Lying on the hospital bed, she could not stop the tears of resentment sliding down over the unjust arrangements of fate.
